Face lift, our specialty
Over time, the skin loses its elasticity, in both men and women. This effect occurs more or less quickly, depending on the individual. Aside from heredity, several factors such as exposure to smoke or the sun can cause premature aging of the skin. A facelift can correct the signs of aging. This procedure aims to tighten the facial skin and redefine the contours of the jaw and neck. A facelift can also be combined with other procedures such as blepharoplasty, which is surgery on the upper and/or lower eyelid. By opting for a facelift, you are giving yourself a youthful makeover.
The course of the facelift procedure
Some signs of aging, such as skin folds and loss of facial projection, can be corrected with injectables. However, sometimes the problem is more pronounced and requires surgery. A facelift then redrapes your skin, mainly in the middle and lower thirds of the face. The appearance of the neck can also be improved during this procedure. Most of the time, the surgical incision runs from the temple to the bottom of the ear and extends posteriorly. A circumferential bandage around the head is also placed at the end of the procedure and removed by our nurse 5 to 7 days after surgery. A facial sheath must be worn for a minimum of 2 weeks to avoid postoperative complications.
